A long eventful year comes to an end. Year 2008 was dedicated to trips, treks and some more trips and treks. Last year at this time we were cooking dal rice sitting next to a cave on top of Kulang - a mountain in sahyadri range. This year -> a peaceful dinner at home.

A usual dilemma before starting a Rails project: Rails (Well known, well documented api, blogs, books) or Merb (Speed, Lean core, fresh framework, alternative ORMs). Today Rails and Merb core team announced their decision to merge into what would be known as Rails 3. Its a good thing since people would stop writing blogs about Rails vs Merb, and talk more about getting things done. I'm looking forward to a faster and less memory hogging version Rails.
